Foreword
Detailed drawings and interesting text make up this collection of comprehension activities. The book provides two
distinct sections relating to each drawing and text:
1. Cloze activity pages:
Each picture-story provides the reader with two exercises.
First exercise: The reader is provided with a complete text and shows comprehension by completing the
accompanying picture.
Second exercise: The reader shows comprehension by completing a cloze task based on the accompanying picture.
There is opportunity in some activities for slightly varied answers or drawings. If the answer or drawing provided
can be justified by the instruction then it should be seen as acceptable.
Cloze comprehension provides an ideal indication of comprehension levels.
2. Comprehension strategy pages:
Each text has two additional comprehension pages that focus on a specific comprehension strategy. These pages
can be used to teach these comprehension strategies.
The texts and activities enable teachers to provide variety to any English language program.
